It’s convenient: Carpooling provides commuting convenience comparable to driving alone, but with less
stress and more companionship while you’re commuting. Carpooling partners establish
their own unique rules and arrangements that best meets the needs of their
particular carpool.

It saves you money: sharing
the costs of driving and parking in these times of increasing gas prices can
help you reduce your daily commuting costs. The more occupants in the vehicle
the more you save.

It’s less stressful: Commuting with others means there’s less frustration and you arrive at
your job more relaxed and ready to work or study. If you’re not driving, you might even
be able to catch up on reading, get some extra sleep or work while commuting.

It’s better for the environment: Fewer cars on the road means reduced green house gas emissions and
improved air quality.

It improves your available commuting options: Carpooling offers a commuter option that may work for you better than other modes. It serves people who live where transit service may be limited and may fit your work schedule better than other options.
